Former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nand Kumar Sai today joined Congress in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur and said that quitting the BJP was a tough call for him, while also adding that he liked the works of the Bhupesh Baghel government in the state.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was also present on the occasion and welcomed him to the party.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sai said, “This was a tough decision for me. I have been associated with the BJP since the time of Jana Sangh. I worked under the leadership of Atal ji, and other prominent leaders. I always follow them. I reviewed the work of the Congress government here under the leadership of CM Baghel. I liked the concept of Narwa Garwa Ghurwa Badi (a flagship scheme for farmers).”
Mr Baghel welcomed him into the party and said that the tribal leader always worked for the welfare of the community.
“Sai always works in the interest of the tribal community and openly praised the work of Congress government because he is a true tribal leader,” he said.
“Joined hand in hand, got your support Continuing with confidence, the matter of tribal interest Welcome and congratulations Dr Nand Kumar Sai ji,” Mr Baghel tweeted in Hindi.
